I know this has been beaten into the ground, but I really doubt Bjork would be an unopposed headliner. I really like her. Hoards of people really like her, but majority of people either don't get her or don't really know who she is. She could definitely hold down the spot, but I don't believe she would be as well received as a "safer" act like Mumford. I could however definitely see her as a dual-headliner with Mumford like the above mock suggests. Of course, I do think she is a bigger name that Arcade Fire, but their music is a little more accessible and even people who haven't heard them could get into them much easier than they could with Bjork. I think she would work better as a late night Which, probably even What... but not an unopposed headliner. I will be happy if she's there, either way.

Arcade Fire was one of the biggest acts at the time when they headlined having just won album of the year at the Grammy's and they played Friday, which is what Macca is playing.

There really isn't a great comparison draw-wise, but setup-wise the Stevie Wonder/Jay-Z setup where neither guy has a full unopposed set(Stevie had an unopposed set, they could just have neither with fully unopposed sets though), but both has unopposed time, is the best setup.

On macca, Yeah, don't really dig pop music. If I were a kid In the sixties I would have listened to led z, the who, doors, jimi etc not the popster icons like the monkees and Beatles. When I was in HS in the early 80s, all my friends were listening to journey and Styx. I was enjoying jello, black flag, clash and the ramones. I know it's terribly unpopular to admit but I think Justin bieber and the Beatles and American idol are one in the same. Justin's fans look exactly like the Beatles fans at shows and in the airport. Can you really compare "she loves you ya ya ya" to "heard you shot your woman down" or even "in the pines, in the pines...". If a 13 year old breastless girl passes out when she spies her hero, I can't get behind it.Your friend Rick

The fact that you define this girl as both 13 and "breastless" makes me uncomfortable.

If the top 4 are Paul-Petty-Bjork-Mumford, i'd say which stage late nights friday and saturday are pretty likely. One goes to pretty lights, and you would think one goes to some kind of jam band, because if there's no jam band in the top 4, there's gotta be one in some kind of significant slot, right? DMB and furthur are presumably too big, and for the sake of argument let's assume noone is lying and WSP is out.

So, who's it gonna be?

SCI in the same spot again? Meh. Phil & Friends? maybe, but probably too bigBisco? Not even top 30 on the lineup in 2010.moe.? 21st on the lineup in 2009

Creep, Karma Police, Paranoid Android, The Bends, Fake Plastic Trees, Wake Up, Keep the Car Running, Month of May, We Used to Wait, Ready to Start are probably all more well known songs than any Bjork song.

Yeah, the implication is that he WOULD be behind a 13 year old girl who passed out as long as she was an early bloomer. He sounds like a "grass on the field" kinda guy.

I did that with purpose, we can talk nfl at brunch instead of music, I just googled and found a sweet lite cowboy hat and I'll be sporting a jets jersey tee, player to be named later. Oh and ill be carrying an ice cold 30 pack for our pleasure.

Speaking of late nights...I'm almost more interested in the late night schedule this year than the headliners. After last year's horrible LN scheduling I realized how much the late nights meant to me. Headliners are fun but LN is where the party starts...and I can't bear to have another repeat of last year.

You're an idiot. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons why you're an idiot, but chief among them is your failure to recognize that there is wide variation across any genre of music, and that just because something is "pop" doesn't make it sh*tty pop. Justin Bieber makes sh*tty disposable teen pop anthems. The Beatles made enduring, timeless pop records. I've made the "Beatles were a pop act" argument before, but usually in order to remind people that pop music in and of itself isn't necessarily an awful thing, not as a way to argue that the Beatles were lame. And I actually don't even like the Beatles.

By the way, you might want to check the number of screaming teenage girls who loved the Who and the Doors and Led Zep, brah.
